AUTHOR

Since I was 8 years old, I've kept a journal. The writing got a lot more interesting when I started to work on yachts, having so many crazy characters and cultural experiences to write about. Throughout all the years cooking on yachts, private islands and estates, my journal has been my best friend and confidante. Little did I know that 30 years ago, I'd be setting myself up with the outline to a series of books that would take people on a lunatic's rum tour! When the first one came out, the feedback was, "I can't believe you're still alive!" Among other interesting comments. I've even had younger couples read it, go buy a small sailboat and email me along their way to the Florida Keys, having never sailed before. More than anything, I've found that my books inspire people to get out of their safety zone and live on the edge a little more each day. Emails and Facebook posts are precious and continue to inspire me to keep writing.
